INTRO

The Noisebridge Orchestra is a free and open ensemble of handmade instruments. If you build your own instrument (of wood, metal, circuits, or code), then you can perform with the Orchestra. No music experience required.

Music performed by the Orchestra gives meaning and shape to Noise. Noise is a bridge to enlightenment: a Noisebridge.

(Note: this project is about good vibes and good humor. No drama please, and let’s not take ourselves too seriously :)
